This film asks a simple but difficult question: is it better to spend life alone than to settle for and give to that imperfect other? A timely question in an age of millennials, many of whom choose neither to marry, to have a partner, or to engage in regular sex. Demographers are alarmed by this. The details change In the film because they are irrelevant. An option, partnering with a clearly flawed other, is offered in the marriage of the young man’s parents. Aging alone is an option shown by the janitor.
